For my first experience of a kebab, I was suitably impressed. And I wasn't even drunk! This…read moretakeaway just looks like your average takeaway, and even has a fruit machine. That makes me chuckle. After never having a kebab we went here one Saturday night because it always smells so good when you walk past. We both had the special which was about £8 each. Quite expensive! But it turned out to be on of those silver dishes with pita bread filled with every type of meat imaginable. Chicken, lamb, beef and that weird stuff they shave. I'm not sure what meat that is? With lashings of sauce and salad, it was a huge meal. Neither of us finished it but it was pretty damn good. The meat was tasty and tender, not the chewy, tasteless crap I was expecting. The menu also offers pizzas and chips too, and it seems quite popular as there was a constant stream of people going in and out while we waited. I would think the true test of a kebab is if it is edible when sober. Therefore, this place passes with flying colours.

The hunt for pancakes was interrupted by McDonald's not serving anymore pancakes after 10.30 am…read more What a shame. Can't tell how disappointed I was to hear that Breakfast time was over - so early - during the day. Well, 10.30 might not be early for you on a Saturday morning, but for a lot of people it can be :-) It was a rainy day and I was so eager to get some pancakes that I made a quick turn for the nearest McDonalds (on Gorgie Rd) and even went over the corner of the pavement damaging my fab tires. The rain was so heavy that when I arrived at the entrance I was soaked, but still longing for my coffee. The place was quite small. Not much seating. Quite plain. A small counter and a few people serving the core McDondals lunch menu. I ordered a cheeseburger and chips, which were average. I believe that the dining area is deliberately small, as the main function of this premise is to be a "Drive Thru", conveniently located opposite Aldi and down Gorgie Road.

Go elsewhere and you'll get a small pie and a cookie and you'll have spent all your money without actually making any impact on your hunger. Most of the takeaways or cafes in this immediate area don't offer good value for money, but this place is the exception. Most of the people I've spoken to who regularly come here are very complimentary and I don't think I've ever heard a bad word about it.

Joy Bangla does takeaway only, and seems to primarily be open in the evenings. The wait time can be up to about 30 minutes, so call ahead to minimize time spent in their waiting area. The food is really worth the wait, as it's always hot and tastes freshly prepared. It's as good as I've had in many of the sit down Indian restaurants in Gorgie and Dalry. The prices are quite reasonable, especially if you get something like their set meals. Portions are large. The surfaces and floors always seem clean, and the staff is professional. The reason that I didn't award 5 stars is that there is no space for sit in orders but as the shop itself is small there isn't anything they can do about this.

Now you may ask me what is so special about this particular Baguette Express? Everyone knows…read moreBaguette Express is basically a sandwich shop offering baguettes (duh), baked potatoes, salads and sandwiches with a wide range of fillings and an affordable price. Nothing too exciting here right? Well this particular Baguette Express, which happens to be my local stocks MOUNTAIN DEW! Yes that sugary goodness that comes from what can only be the mountains of heaven is stocked here! I hate to say it, but a part of me has been completed by that discovery. At £1.30 a can you can enjoy the sweet nectar that you once only enjoyed in America (or other foreign countries which stock it). On close inspection of the can it seems it is imported from Poland. Genius, just genius. Now if they would start to stock Cheetos and Lays I could sit quite happily and get fat. Oh and you could pick up a baguette too, I guess they are pretty good. But Mountain Dew!!!

The sammiches come on a big, soft, delicious roll. And they're filled with a generous portion of pulled pork. You get to customize them a little bit by selecting your bread, the size of the sammich, the stuffing (sage and onion or the homemade haggis), and a variety of spreads (apple, homemade mustard mayo, homemade chili cheese, and homemade chili jam). My wife got the sage & onion, and I opted for a haggis filling. We both very much enjoyed our rolls. They were very filling, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The haggis was unique, but we are very familiar with pulled pork sammiches back home. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Oink to any hungry travelers in Edinburgh.

I stopped here shortly before leaving Edinburgh on the train. This was my last meal in Edinburgh…read moreand very delicious. There is usually a line outside this simple restaurant but possibly due to the light rain, the line was fairly short when I went. I only waited for like 5 minutes. The menu is simple as the roasted hog/pig is the only thing on the menu. You can choose a few things to customize the sandwich or even order it in a box. I ordered the Oink size (medium) on wheat bread and chose sage and onion for my topping and then the Homemade Mustard Mayo for the sauce. They make it in front of you and it is fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately when I went they were out of cracklings. They wrap it in foil and hand it to you. Pretty simple and efficient. I love that the outside of the building is painted pink like a pig (coincidence? Probably not). This is a good place to try for a quick, cheap and yummy sandwich. They do this one thing very well. Please open more of these!
